How’s it going? ‘Busy, as usual!’

Stress is one of the biggest challenges in the workplace. Everyone experiences it from time to time; this is quite normal. But if you experience stress over a long period of time, it can lead to tension in the team, reduced cooperation and even burnout. Discussing stress with your team is the first step to tackling work-related stress. Then you can look for causes and suitable solutions together.

Calm the coop is a team game in which you open the discussion on work stress with your team in a fun, but also safe way. In a playful setting, you discover each other’s stress signals and learn what is needed to tackle stress in time. You gain personal insights and arrive at team actions to reduce stress in your workplace.

Impact

After the game, your team will have:

Easier conversations

about stress and well-being in the workplace

Insight at personal and team level

about stress triggers and what you can do about them

for whom

For any team that wants to understand stress better and do something about it together.

Whether you are dealing with the risk of burn-out or working on a healthier work culture, this game helps teams to start the conversation and take steps.

How does it work?

With physical cards and digital guidance via phone or tablet, the game adapts to each player. You are paired with a specific hen who is stressed.

Together with your team, you discover what your hen needs. This gives insight into your own stress patterns and how you can support your colleagues.

You learn to recognise your stress signals and how to break recurring patterns. At the end, as a team you draw up three concrete actions to reduce stress at work.

  • 3-18 players
  • 60-90 minutes
“A fun way to discuss stress. I now understand my own stress better as well as what we can do as a team to reduce work stress.”

Why this game?

Stress is a difficult subject to discuss, even though everyone feels it from time to time.


Calm the coop creates a safe, playful setting in which teams can open up, refect and support each other – without external guidance.


This game helps your team move from individual tension to collective action.
